Get First-Class Merit Before Joining The Army, Do You Call This A Recruit?

Chu Bai asked: "Who else is not convinced?"

No one dared to speak anymore.

"Since you're not talking anymore, just listen to him." Chu Bai glanced at Captain Odo.

Odo said: "I don't have to pursue whether you were involved in the robbery committed by Ahmed before. But you must promise me one thing."

All the pirates present stared at Otto's face.

Odo continued: "You can no longer be pirates in the future."

The pirates were taken aback for a moment, a little confused, if they were not allowed to be pirates, what would they be?

"You can fish, you can farm, and you can leave here and find a job in a big city."

The pirates showed sneers on their faces, making it impossible for Odo to continue.

The bearded leader looked very sincere: "Captain Odo, what do you think we used to do? If that would keep us alive, who would want to lick blood on the tip of a knife every day?"

Otto was speechless for a moment.

Chu Bai asked: "Why, can't it be done?"

The bearded leader's heart shuddered, he was not easy to mess with.

Either kill him, or be killed by him.

Long Beard thought, on the surface they didn't bring many people, but there must be many people hiding in the dark.

12 You can't confront them head-on now, even if you want to kill them, you must ensure your own safety.

"It's not that we can't do it, and it's not that we don't want to do it," the bearded man said with a respectful smile, "We're used to being pirates, but it's not our fault that we were suddenly asked to change jobs.

"But we are very sincere," Long Beard continued, "Why don't we go to the command post to talk."

Long Beard glanced in a certain direction, and that should be where their lair was.

Deputy Song quickly said to Chu Bai: "That's their territory, be careful of fraud."

The bearded man smiled: "Are you afraid that we are not sincere?"

Deputy Song was stunned, let me go, what he said just now was Long Guowen was right.

The old man can understand Long Guowen!

There was a trace of respect in the bearded expression: "I like the culture of the Dragon Kingdom, and I took the time to learn a little bit of the Dragon Kingdom."

Deputy Song was speechless, well, you also have to allow the pirates to have hobbies, right?

"You lead the way," Chu Bai said.

Long Beard made a "please" gesture, asking Chu Bai and his group to follow him. The other pirates followed behind Chu Bai and others, and the mighty team walked forward.

Odo took the opportunity to whisper to Chu Bai: "Is it really okay to go to their lair?"

Chu Bai replied in a low voice: "If you don't go to the lair, the problem will not be solved."

"What if they attack us in the lair?" Otto asked.

Chu Bai smiled: "They don't have the guts."

Odo was puzzled, but seeing that Chu Bai was full of confidence, he didn't feel embarrassed to ask any more.

Ask too much, it seems that he is too scared, too cheap.

In fact, Odo thought a little too much. He had already been imprisoned by pirates once, and he had already reached the ceiling regarding the price drop.

The long beard took them to the depths of the island, under a mountain.

Here is the only mountain in this group of small islands.

There are several rows of houses built on the mountain, and the terrain of each row is higher than that of the row. Obviously, the topmost one is the place where the leader lives, and the houses in front are all for resistance and defense.

"The house with this layout is still useful?" Odo disdainfully said, "With the precise positioning system, a shell can blow up the house in the innermost row, and the glass of the house next to it will be shattered at most."

Chu Bai smiled, but did not speak.

Long Beard kept the other pirates outside, and invited Odo and Chu Bai into the innermost house.

Inside is a large suite, the luxurious decoration and the simple exterior walls are in stark contrast.

The whole house has crystal chandeliers, solid wood floors, an air purification system, and a wine storage room of about 20 square meters in one corner of the house, with a separate temperature control system.

"The honored guest is here, you must open a bottle of good wine today." The long beard walked into the wine storage room.

Odo took the opportunity to whisper to Chu Bai: "You let them not be pirates but farmers, can they still have this enjoyment?"

Isn't life much happier lying on the passing ship merchants and sucking blood?

"You think I can't convince them?" Chu Bai asked.

Otto shook his head, "That's not what I meant."

Chu Bai went on to say: "Actually, I'm not sure I can convince them."

Otto was speechless, what does Colonel Chu mean?

A low bearded laugh sounded, and he first poured the red wine into the decanter.

The wine is really good wine, full of fragrance and sweet taste.

After the red wine woke up, he personally poured the wine for Otto and Chu Bai, "This is the wine from the top vineyards in the northern hemisphere. Not everyone can drink it, nor can it be drunk every day."

Chu Bai picked up the wine glass and drank it without hesitation.

Odo was startled, he really wasn't afraid that there would be tricks in it.

But Chu Bai drank it all, and he drank it with peace of mind.

The bearded man smiled, "Cheer up, but aren't you afraid that I'll play tricks on the wine?"

"I'm afraid," Chu Bai said frankly, "but when you weren't paying attention, I switched our cups."

Otto looked at his wine glass and was stunned.

The expression on the bearded face suddenly froze, recalling just now, he just turned slightly sideways to cover the wine bottle.

I didn't realize it at all, and my wine glass was changed.

He looked at Chu Bai again, with a hint of horror and killing intent in his heart.

"It's a good thing I didn't tamper with the wine," he pretended to be relaxed, "otherwise there would be a big misunderstanding now. You two, what do you think of the wine's taste?"

"Not bad." Chu Bai nodded.

"No...not bad." Otto quickly came to his senses, although he was surprised and speechless, he couldn't show his timidity.

The long beard said: "I have been tasting this kind of red wine since I was 12 years old. Now you let me work as a farmer and farm the land. Would you like to change it to you?"

Otto frowned, as he'd guessed it would.

Chu Bai cursed in his heart, your whole family has been pirates for generations, and you really have a sense of superiority.

But he had a slight smile on his face: "What do you want?"

"Sir," Long Beard said, "although you are soldiers and I are thieves, but when we come out to do things, who is not for money, power, fame and fortune?"

"Make an offer and let me go."

Otto glanced at Chu Bai, he didn't know how to respond now.

Chu Bai smiled, "How much can you offer?"

If you grow a beard, you know there is something going on. Who in this world doesn't love money?

A smug expression appeared on his face: "As much as you want, just ask."

Chu Bai replied: "Let me think about it."

The long-bearded man clapped his hands twice outside the door, and soon someone served the food and wine, "Sir, let's sit down and chat while eating.

The dishes served are naturally delicious.

Otto was imprisoned for several days, and there was indeed nothing in his stomach.

I drank all the wine just now, it should be fine to eat something now.

But when he wanted to pick up the chopsticks, he saw Chu Bai put his hands on the table, showing no intention of moving the chopsticks.

Does that mean there is a problem with it?
